You buy a purebred dog because of the genetics in the breed you have chosen. Within a small range, you know what you are getting. Pit-bull owners need to realize what they have gotten into and take all necessary precautions to make sure their dog does not harm anyone or anyone's pet.
That is responsible ownership and if they are not doing that job, the dog should be removed as a menace to society. That is what an untrained and improperly supervised pit-bull truly is.

I agree with the training vs genetic statement. I own a Jack Russell, and no matter how well trained, at some point he WILL take off after a varmint. I don't expect any amount of training or love will make him 100% reliable, and hence. . . pit bulls give me the willeys.
